Author: G. Gill Hymnal: Laudes Domini #572 (1890) First Line: Beautiful Zion, built above Refrain First Line: Zion, Zion, lovely Zion Lyrics: 1 Beautiful Zion, built above,
Beautiful city that I love;
Beautiful gates of pearly white,
Beautiful temple God is light,
He who was slain on Calvary,
Opens those pearly gates to me.
Refrain:
Zion, Zion, lovely Zion,
Beautiful Zion, city of our God.
Zion, Zion, lovely Zion,
Beautiful Zion, city of our God.
2 Beautiful crowns on every brow,
Beautiful palms the conquerors show;
Beautiful robes the ransomed wear,
Beautiful all who enter there
Thither I press with eager feet;
There shall my rest be long and sweet. [Refrain]
3 Beautiful throne for Christ our King,
Beautiful songs the angels sing;
Beautiful rest all wanderings cease;
Beautiful home of perfect peace
There shall my eyes the Saviour see
Haste to his heavenly home with me. [Refrain] Topics: The Rest of Heaven; Heaven; Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: CORRIDOR HEIGHTS
